DELAVAN—An agreement between a developer and the City of Delavan could help get a new business started—and keep it up and running.

On Tuesday, the Delavan City Council unanimously approved a developer's agreement with Best Hospitality, the group that bought the former Delavan House Hotel, 215 E. Walworth St., in the heart of the city's downtown.

“This has been on the top of the council's priority list for a number of years,” said Delavan City Administrator Denise Pieroni. “We are very excited to see it move forward.”
